September 11

on this night
we remember the past
when we were shook
by the airplane's blast

we did not comprehend
nor do we still
just how much this hurts
and how our hearts can feel

it breaks the barrier
of individual strength
it takes us all joining
hands to overcome this breach

we look behind only to recollect
the horror, the pain, the feeling
to then look ahead and spur us on
to rise above the hate and work for healing

mint chocolate chip ice cream

minty fresh to the taste
fresh and cool, I'll not waste
any time to get me some
of the delicious frozen yum-yum
what can it be that I describe?
something nice on which to imbibe
one of my favorites is the theme
mint chocolate chip ice cream

Happy Birthday to My Husband

Happy birthday to you
I love your eyes so blue
I love how you kiss me too
I love how you have stayed so true
I know that I'll never rue
Having gotten married to you
You are the best guy I could ever choo(se)
You are one of the few
Who keep things ever new
I never know just what you'll brew
Even when things seem askew
Or we feel like we live in a zoo
I just want to say this will be seen through
And I will always be in love with you

How Much Is Your Blog Worth?

When it comes to blogging
There are some that are better
Than others.

While I maintain quiet
A few, I thought
that no bother.

When I wanted to learn
Just how much each
Was worth

I went to the test to find
That it really filled
Me with mirth

To find that the ones
I most adored are not
The ones on top

While at the same time
The ones I thought “unworthy”
Really did have some “pop”.

So if you really want to know
Just how much each of
Your blogs is worth

Hop over to
this little site
To see if it can increase
Your wallet’s girth

You may be a bit surprised
As I was to find just
Which blog

Of yours is the one
That is worth most
Living high on the hog

My blog is worth $3,387.24.
How much is your blog worth?

DO FOLLOW

in trying to bring
my blog a little love
in trying to help
raise its rank above

and beyond where it now lies
to support anyone
who may choose to comment
and to also join the fun

I have chosen to delete
those tiny words "no follow"
and added in my own
to fill in any hollow

it is best for blogs
when they can be linked
to each other with love
helping us all to think

that we can raise our traffic
and our rank
to help spread the love around
and here is who I have to thank

jerseygirl showed me the way
to find what I need to know
to get the link and badge

It's Getting Late

It's getting late
It's past the time
When I should stop
This little rhyme

I must get to bed
And get some sleep
I need the rest
For tomorrow's heap

Of work will soon arrive
To greet me and send me
On my way, busy, busy
An endless swirly

But I can't stop
I've got to blog
There are so many
Things I've got to log

And if I do not
Will it remain
Til another day?
For I'll be back again.

fish camp

my son just left
for fish camp
he will spend the day
learning to be a champ

when it comes to
learning the ropes of school
and just what to do
each day and every rule

the school will provide
lots of new things
for him to experience
and new learning will bring

him some good
opportunities that he may
not have had
and will help him learn his way

so while he's gone
I'll just sit home and pray
that he will flourish
and in my heart he'll stay

even when he's gone
and off doing new things
I'll know that it's what we want
to eventually cut those strings
